Brain Day 2024

Mental Health Expo

Did you know that brainwave patterns change in response to different emotional states? Our brains learn how to respond to emotions based on our previous reactions to similar situations. Can we ‘train’ our brains to better harness our emotions with specific activities or thoughts that make us feel a certain way?

Come and discover the fascinating world of your brain as we unravel the secrets behind brainwave patterns and how your brain responds to stress, anxiety, and relaxation. Can you become positively wired?!

Bring your friends and whānau and join us at Tūhura Otago Museum for an interactive display of mental wellbeing. Step inside our giant inflatable brain to learn more about how you can keep your brain healthy or have a chat with Brain Health Research Centre experts about all things brain-related.
